FAQs

What is the main difference between the original Kobe 9 and the Protro version?

The Protro version updates the original design with modern materials and performance technology, aiming to improve comfort, support, and durability while retaining the iconic aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The description does not specify suitability for wide feet. Given the performance-oriented design, they may have a standard fit. Trying them on or checking specific width information if available is recommended.

What is the 'Halo' colorway?

The 'Halo' colorway refers to an all-white, clean, and bright aesthetic, symbolizing purity and excellence.

Can these be worn for activities other than basketball?

Yes, while designed for basketball, their stylish appearance makes them suitable for casual everyday wear for sneaker enthusiasts.

What does 'Protro' mean?

'Protro' is a portmanteau of 'Professional' and 'Retro,' indicating a retro release that has been updated with professional-grade performance features.

How should I store these trainers to maintain their condition?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Keeping them clean will also preserve their appearance.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have the correct UK size 4.5. For initial wear, try wearing thinner socks. The premium materials may offer some stretch over time with regular wear.

Dirt marks on the white surface

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution as per care instructions. Act quickly to remove stains before they set.

Ankle support feels insufficient

Verify that the laces are tied correctly and securely. The high-top design is intended to provide support, but individual fit can vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball performance and casual wear. Not intended for highly specialized athletic activities beyond court sports.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
